Heart of Hearts

A friend of mine recently suffered health problems.  I was thinking about her today, wondering what little something I could send her and then it occurred to me: what I need to make for her is… a heart.

I used this pattern to crochet two hearts which are then crocheted together around the edges.  Before closing it, I stuffed it with fibrefill and lavender so that the heart not only looks pretty, but smells lovely too!

A great little crochet heart.
But it was still missing a bit of something…

…yes, of course, a tatted edging.  






A very satisfying morning's work.

All the while thinking about my friend
and wishing her good health.

Best wishes,
Frivole

    This is spectacular! A beautiful blending of crochet and tatting. The tatting gives it a beautiful edging! Beautifully done and a lovely gift! Is the heart your own design?

      Hi Kathy, nice to "see" you again. No, the heart is not my own pattern and there is a link to the crochet pattern in the body of the post.

    The edging makes it - and that colour is wonderful. It's got Valentine's writ all over it. :-D

    Congratulations, Frivole ! That is a new concept. In the past crochet has been used to strengthen tatting. From now on, tatting can be used to enhance beautifull crochet.
